I am almost 19 and my goal is to become a real estate investor. Since I am 19 I don't have tons of money to just go and buy a property to invest into. For a while now I have thought of maybe becoming an agent first then go into investing. Being an agent will help me expand my connections with people and at the same time will be saving capital. Regardless real estate investing is my goal, and being an agent is something I have been wanting to do since 16. I have been studying the markets since 16 and learning as much as I can. Please comment what you think. 

Thank you

I am 18 and currently a senior in highschool. I will soon be deciding what I want to do career wise whether that's going college or not. I am at a big fork in the road because I'm not sure if I should go to a university and pursue a degree or go all in and head first into real estate and start off by becoming a agent. I have big goals and some may say those goals are too big, I am relentlessly ambitious and I don't think a 4 year university would give me the life I want long term wise. I am coming to BiggerPockets Forums to get advice or just another person's input. I have always loved learning about real estate whether that's being a agent or investing since I was 16 and it has always stuck with me. Some may say going to college is the safest option and the "next step" in life but those 4 years have a opportunity cost. I have looked at many different careers and to me it's either college or real estate. No matter what I do I want to go head first and give 100%. Some people in my life tell me real estate is risky and I should take something more "simple" and "safer". I want to make a lot of money doing what I love and master what I'm doing then take that money and invest it to create generational wealth along with passive income. I don't want the college party scene I want success. I would appreciate it if you could give me any advice, I look forward to seeing what you have to say.

Thank you

I am 16 from Philadelphia PA. I love real estate, I love learning or watching youtube/tv show about real estate. I know I can't sell a house or actually become a realtor due to my age. I want to know what I can do to get started or even get a head start in real estate. Should I reach out to a local realtor near me and ask for mentorship and for him or her to take me under their wing to gain knowledge and i'll do something in return. I am 16 and I know what I want for my future, I think that sets me apart from other kids my age especially since everyone my age wants to smoke,drink, and have "fun". I want to do the complete opposite I want to be successful. I just don't know how and that runs through my brain every day wondering what I can do to get a head start and set me up for a good successful future. 

Please respond, anything will help.
